Wow... there is so much here I feel like I need a good hour or so to sift through it. Which I don't have right now. Will have to return to this, and will certainly save it as a post. I'm really interested in borders too and how artists represent and process the issues they raise. Some other artists who immediately come to mind are JR and Christo and Jeanne Claude. I also wrote a post on this some time ago but for the life of me now I can't find it! Anyway, thanks for all this good stuff, really interesting.
Thanks so much for your comment and interest in this topic, Victoria. I meant to reply to you ages ago -- in any case, I like your artist suggestions so much. I hope you enjoy an interview with Jorge Palinhos in a couple weeks on this topic. I’m constantly considering the changing shape (metaphorically as well) of borders and how it impacts identity (individual and cultural) and the way borders affect me. Would love to hear more of your thoughts on this when you get a chance, especially from an art historian perspective
